Iron Maiden
noun. a medieval instrument of torture fashioned as a box in the shape of a woman, large enough to hold a human being, and studded with sharp spikes on the inside.
Iron Maiden were formed on Christmas Day, 25 December 1975, by bassist Steve Harris shortly after he left his previous group, Smiler. Harris attributed the band's name to a film adaptation of The Man in the Iron Mask from the novel by Alexandre Dumas, as the title reminded him of the iron maiden torture device.
Ahh, now I understand why bras for the overly endowed are also termed, an "iron maiden." Poor gals...
What a night! Our seats were behind the stage... so looking at it from the side. In the middle of the opening band (The Hu) the usher called us down to the tunnel. He told us that Maiden didn't like that angle for the fan experience, so they were moving us to the lower bowl. So, our original tickets were bought on the 25 dollar concert week sale that Live Nation did. We were moved to the 125 dollar section. Pretty bad azz!!
It's unbelievable how well these dudes still get around at their age.
